Report a problem to the council
The quickest way to get something fixed — a pothole, dumped rubbish, a missed bin — is to lodge it through the council's official channel. Below is where to report each type of issue, plus an independent app that works for any council.
- Report to the council (official)
- Customer service: 1300 680 888One number now reaches all council services; or use the online request/report form.
- Bin problems & repairs
- JR Richards: 1300 680 088Missed collections and bin repairs/replacements; or report to the council.
- Illegal dumping
- Report to the council / NSW EPA (RIDonline)
- One app for any council
- Snap Send SolveAn independent app that uses your location to route the report to the responsible council. Not run by the council.
- Not always the council's job
- Faulty street lights → Endeavour EnergyThe council maintains the pole; the energy provider fixes the light itself.
For urgent safety hazards, call rather than filling in a form. Snap Send Solve is an independent third-party app (not run by the council) that routes your report to the responsible authority.
